Upcoming Discovery Schedules report

The Upcoming Discovery Schedule report is a
graphical display of the Discovery schedules that are scheduled to be executed in the next
30 days. Each row in the timeline is a unique Discovery schedule. Different spans on the
same line show the upcoming Discovery runs of that schedule. Each span represents the
estimated time it will take to complete the run. The blue color inside the timespan is the
actual completion time. The grey color is the maximum run time of that schedule.

You can use the timeline to determine if your scheduled
Discovery runs are spread out over time, rather than all running at once.
